iowa may be boring but i hear it has the lowest unemployment rate in the us, if i was single and needed a job id probably move there, others id probably move to seattle or portland, but thats because i like those two cities

Seattle, Minneapolis is HOT, several cities in Texas. Back in 2011 over 1/3 of the new jobs were provided in the state of Texas, it's almost like it's own country. This is against the nation all 50 states and 1/3 of those new jobs were in Texas. I think that speaks volumes.

I have family in Minneapolis and applied for a job there on a whim. Got an interview, however it was the case that I wasn't qualified and the company wasn't willing to train either...Also I don't think I could take the harsh winters either. I don't know how you can do it.

I'll chime in with my support for the Seattle area as well. I am always seeing plenty of IT positions across the experience spectrum open around here. Though I also imagine that the competition for the jobs is a bit more fierce as well.

He doesn't have to anymore, but I love it. Realistically, if you don't like the cold, you don't need to spend more than 20 minutes a day in it, maybe 40 if your car takes time to heat up. Garages are almost omnipresent on houses and apartments.

By comparison, I couldn't stand the Texas heat for even five minutes. The commute would be unbearable.
